Coffee & Trail Cleanup With MALT

This event is appropriate for families and people of all ages. We will be hiking the trails, clearing dead branches, and pruning new growth as we go.

MALT’s friendly neighborhood trails and volunteer manager, Liam, will be at the trailhead at 8:30 A.M. with coffee and tea for about an hour. Come grab a warm drink, enjoy a chat, and make some new friends! At 9:30 A.M., we’ll set off as a group with Liam for a hike. Together, we’ll clear dead branches and small fallen trees, tidy up drainage structures and boardwalks, and pick up any litter along the way. 

Just a heads up: these hikes are mostly about socializing with a touch of light trail work. It’s an excellent chance to get to know the trails, learn more about our Trail Manager Liam, and discover various volunteer opportunities. Plus, this is a great time to share any of your ideas on the trails—Liam would love to hear them!
